Green x Co.. in their report on cotton flu
lures, say: "Some lively trading has taken
place on Ii rapidly changing market, but with
the cost largely on the downward scale and
| prices averaging considerably below yester-
! day. There seemed to be an inclination to
| buy in the morning. but when advices came
| To hand indicating great financial disturb
| ancC in Europe, especially on the continent.
| many holders became demoralized and with
| such liberal splillng out as caused rapid and
| almost unchecked break of sag points, though
| apparently very little new snort selling was
| lHdulged in. After awhile, however, 1t wa
| discovered that offerings were being absorbed
| with some freedom, especially on March
| April contracts and tins, in connection with
! somewhat lighter crop movements and fairly
sustained Southern markets, resulted in
! partIa recovery, with reasonably steady tone
/ at the clio Sc, and rates only 3@4 under last
| evening"
